Seattle has a reservoir of swimming enthusiasm without an outlet. Expanded access to outdoor pools is long overdue. No matter where you live in the city, the water is packed. East of I-5, you’ll have to belong to a private club to get into an outdoor pool. Unless you count your cousin’s inflatable kid-pool, of course.

So let’s get the word out! Christine has kicked off a tidal wave but we need your help. Come to the upcoming community meetings at Meadowbrook and on Capital Hill. Express your interest in this project to Seattle’s Directors of Aquatics and Park Planning. Join our mailing list so that you can send emails of support to city leaders. Your voices will move this forward.

Christine is an experienced community activist (nice work on Dahl Field playground!), so she knows how to shape projects into good neighbors. We’re all looking forward to working hand-in-hand with the City of Seattle, Community Clubs and other groups supportive of public pools.
